Especially recently, I feel that in many areas we are not going well. However, two seem to me to be the most critical points for change: (a) the large climate chapter, and (b) the gradual elimination of active citizenship, who is interested in their fellow citizens and the community to which they belong/are part of/live.
In 2040, therefore, we will ideally have achieved any change that can still occur in terms of climate change. The temperature will remain stable at current levels, the glaciers will continue to suffer, heat fires will have been reduced, etc. The ways we have achieved this achievement will be holistic and long-term, so that they will have an effect and duration (e.g. in Paris they are trying to unlock rivers and streams in order to bring down the temperature, while at the same time taking the public through the installation of air-conditioning units, which would raise the temperature of at least 2 degrees in the city). Of course, this approach is linked to the second strand of the described future, that of active citizenship. In order to achieve this, the people of the Earth will have changed mindsets, the sense of responsibility we all have towards the planet, not only in theory, but in substance, has been strengthened. The world will have mobilised, realising that changes are not taking place by writing 2 whistle-blower paragraphs on the internet that may inspire a proportion of the world, but so far, but need concrete actions, which are organised, cooperative, shared and mass. As active citizens, we will enjoy solidarity, conspiracy and mutual support for each other’s fellow citizens, building on and strengthening the concept of public space vis-à-vis the private one. Everyone’s altruism, feeling of inclusiveness and empathy will have increased.
Every action and every attempt to make a positive change is part of a chain, where each link is linked to the others and it is impossible to fundamentally change the situation if we do not act comprehensively and through all the parts that make up the living system.

The EU collapsed. NATO ceased to exist. The trial of liberal leaders who had destroyed the EU economy
The EU collapsed, with only a few Old World countries remaining. NATO ceased to exist. Parties concerned about national security and the self-identity of their countries came to power. The trial of liberal leaders who had destroyed the EU economy to please transnational corporations took place. Many Eastern European countries found the strength to recognize the sanctions against the Russian Federation as destructive for them. And so they made peace with Russia, and many even sent requests to join the Eurasian Union. After the trial of liberal politicians of the 1920s, Germany began to recover economically. The Nord Stream gas pipelines were restored. Under the leadership of Germany and France, the creation of the European Armed Forces began. The construction of the New Silk Road was completed.

People in government must prove that they have a basic knowledge of their position and are not appointed according to party affiliation. Laws that are passed must also be applied and not become ineffective with thousands of exceptions. As far as transport is concerned, it would be good if there were still a certain individual share, but for the most part via a well-developed public network that also takes into account all so-called marginalized groups (the elderly, the disabled, the financially disadvantaged).

Dette vil næppe være min fremtid, men ...
For anything to get better, we have to start small. That means everything starts with yourself, with taking responsibility for your life, living a decent, responsible and considerate life in all respects. If this happens, it will also mean that the people elected to political responsibility will be able to fulfill their duties for the benefit of all people and all aspects of society. And there is nowhere, in my opinion, where change and improvement is more needed than in this area if democracy is to survive

Realistische Dystopie
In 2050, the earth will not be a better place than it is today. People will still be fighting senseless wars and hatred will not have been overcome in either the real or the virtual world. Resources will become scarcer in some areas, but intensive research has found ways to largely compensate for this. The division of the world has also changed. Countries that used to play a leading role in the economy and politics have, in some cases, become insignificant players on the brink of regression from industrialized to emerging economies as a result of bad decisions by egomaniacal politicians. Neither their energy supply nor the shortage of skilled workers can be brought under control. Religious beliefs will play a greater role and minorities will often dictate to majorities how they should behave. Woke-ness will largely eradicate feminism, so that everything women have fought hard for for decades will dissolve into nothing. We are abolishing ourselves, human dignity, human rights and democracy because we make everything equally bad and insignificant out of a misunderstood understanding of tolerance. Only the stupidity of humans will not die out, but will become even greater, while the AI secretly laughs and is happy not to be homo "sapiens".
